ABSTRAK
Projek ini adalah bertujuan untuk merekabentuk dan membangunkan sebuah roda yang mengerakkan robot kesemua kawasan. Projek ini mengandaikan cabaran itu dengan mereka bentuk semula roda bendayung dan digabungkan bersama roda Mecanum yang sedia ada, jadi ia boleh bergerak dikedua- dua kawasan darat dan permukaan air. Pelajaran ini akan meliputi tentang kajian reka bentuk roda Mecanum dan roda roda pendayung yang sesuai untuk semua roda yang menggerakkan robot ke semua kawasan. Pertama kali , ia akan membincangkan element penting yang tertanam didalam projek ini. Didalam kaedah metodologi dimana ia merangka perjalanan reka bentuk dan perlibatan pembuatan semula roda pengayuh dan roda Mecanum. Selepas itu , satu kemajuan kerja percubaan adalah untuk menguruskan suatu alat reka bentuk produk untuk konsep baru roda
pendayung dan pemodelan rekabentuk '3D' dengan 'Catia V5' digunakan untuk
menjalankan tujuan akhir semua sebahagian daripada rupa bentuk robot mudah alih.
Untuk mengenai hasil dan perbincangan ,satu analisis simulasi aliran yang mudah
dijalankan untuk menyelesaian persamaan halaju sebenar dan pecutan .

This chapter discusses the basic idea of this PSM1 project; design and development of an all terrain mobile robot wheels. The topic that will be covered in this chapter is project background, problem statement, project aim & objective, scope, project planning and expected outcome.
1.1 Background
In general, robots are designed and controlled by a computer or similar devise. The motion and movement of the robot are controlled thought a controller that is under the supervision of the computer, in other words, itself is running some type of program. If the program is change, the action and motion of robot will also automatically change. Therefore, the robot is designed to able to perform any task that can be programmed within limit, of course simply by charging the program. There are various ways to defining a robot. Robot is a device that effective for us to do work for us or move anything that we want, via its functions. Wheel is used to help the robot navigation to do movement from a place to another place. Mecanum wheel was designed and invented in Sweden in 1973 by Bength Ilon, an engineer with Swedish company Mecanum AB(Diegel et al 2002). Mecanum wheel is based on the principle of a central wheel. With a number of roller placed at an angle around the wheel. The angled peripheral roller translates a portion of the force in the rotational direction of the wheel to force normal to the wheel directional. Depending on each individual wheel direction and speed, the resulting thus allowing the
2
platform to move freely in direction of resulting force vector, without changing the direction of the wheel.
1.2 Introduction of all terrain mobile robot.
3 1.3 Problem statement.
The idea of this project is to design and develop of an all terrain mobile robot wheel by using Mecanum wheels with the problem statement as follows ;
a) An all terrain robot wheels cannot run on water surface area.
b) How to design and intergrades the paddle wheel on existing Mecanum wheel without interference the movement and application of the Mecanum wheels.
1.4 Objective of the project.
The aim of this project is to design and develop of all terrain mobile robot wheels. To achieve this aim, the followings need to be fulfilled :
a) To design an all terrain mobile robot wheels that can function on both land and water surface area.
b) To design a suitable paddle wheel.
c) To integrate the design of paddle wheel into Mecanum wheels.
4 1.5 Work Scope.
The Scope of project is very important in order to support in the build and development process of this project. Listed below are the descriptions of scope for this project:
a) Study the design of Mecanum wheels and paddle wheel that suitable for an all terrain mobile robot wheels.
b) To apply product design tool to determined the best design.
c) To produce a 3D modeling and detail design of an all terrain mobile robot wheels using a variable cad software.
d) Conduct a simple design analysis to validate the design of the product. e) To produce the prototyping to validate and test the product.
1.6 Result expectation.
a) The design will be apply a product design tool to determined the best design so the 3d modeling and detail design can use on variable cad software.
b) Design analysis to validate the design of the all an terrain mobile robot wheels.
